<br><br>---------- Forwarded message ----------<br><div class="gmail_quote">From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Barbara Barry<br><br></b>this is great - 20 year study. i'd like to see the full study to see what they thought might account for the cultural differences in school continuation (china v. us). and if they looked at what was read in addition to presence of books in the home. <br>
<br>shannon, can you dig on the harvard lib journals to get the original article? thought you'd be interested particularly b/c of the literacy angle!<br><div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 8:42 PM, Samuel Klein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="http://meta.sj" target="_blank">meta.sj</a>@<a href="http://gmail.com" target="_blank">gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This study seems to make a powerful argument in favor of ramping up the
quantity of e-book content on school servers.<br>
<br>
Books in the home as important as parents’ education level<br>
